Case Study #1

Data: Jonathan, a single man, passed away in December 2018. The value of his assets at the time of death was $16,155,000. He also owned an insurance policy with a face value of $315,000 (which was not in an irrevocable life insurance trust [ILIT]). The cost of his funeral was $19,750, while estate administrative costs totaled $67,000. As stipulated in his will, he left $154,000 to charities. Also, for each of the years 2011 to 2014, Jonathan provided his niece Suzy with $20,000 per year funding for college tuition. Of this $20,000, $5,000 was paid directly to the college for tuition and fees, $13,000 was paid to his niece to cover her living expenses while she was going to school, and $2,000 was for clothes. In addition to paying for his niece’s schooling, he also gave his niece $25,000 as a late graduation present in 2015 for a down payment on a new house.
